Really? A fork and a spoon is far more superior. It shocks me that chopsticks are still used and that people like using them. They're definitely not for me.

- fsckboy 3y agowith chopsticks what you place directly onto your tongue is food, rather than a metal implement that you drag back out, providing a superior food centric organoleptic experience. it's not about work product efficiency.
- ackfoobar 3y agoI don't mind you calling your way superior. I'm sure it is superior for you and the food you eat. But not elaborating adds nothing to the conversation. For me, chopsticks are superior in picking up crisps. No greasy fingers, as GP noted. You can't stab them with a fork; they're prone to falling off a spoon, whereas chopsticks can grip them from both sides.
- slowmovintarget 3y agoIt's actually far easier to eat vegetables, especially sauteed vegetables, with chopsticks. Same for digging sardines out of a tin. Chopsticks beats fork or spoon. They're not for everything, but when you learn to use them, there are many foods (and many dishes in Asian cuisine where they have long thin pieces) that are simply easier with chopsticks if you have the skills. Knife and fork for steak, or whole pieces of chicken, or turkey dinner... Spoon for stew or soup. But noodles, or stir-fried vegetables? chopsticks.
- theonething 3y agoFor messy snacks that would get your fingers all dirty or oily (e.g. Cheetos), I'll actually use chopsticks to eat them. Don't have to wash your hands afterwards! I limit this to home because I don't carry chopsticks around with me and probably also because I'd get weird looks.
